Chapter 40- The diligence

After the usual greetings, Kurama and Yomi went to the area around the scene of the terrorist attack, looking for surveillance cameras nearby. The task is not easy, as Yomitan is a safe city, and people have no reason to install surveillance equipment.
The surveillance system installed by Yomi only serves the flyover tracks, and the subway stations, as well as the trains. Surveillance systems serves more for educational purposes, as few citizens dare to disregard the rules, and those who do so are not well-seen people in society.
Yomi and Kurama walk close to the scene of the attack, and spot a security camera that was installed pointing exactly to the direction of the demolished pillar;

-That grocery store has cameras, Yomi, let's see?
-Right.

Yomi and Kurama enter the grocery store. The owner feels honored by Yomi's presence in his establishment;

-Good morning, Mr. Yomi, how can I serve you?
-Hi, good morning. Is your surveillance system operational?
-Yes of course!
-Very good ... we'll need some video files from yesterday, could you give them to us?
-It's all right.

Kurama gives a flash drive to the seller, who returns a few minutes later with the video file from the previous day;

-All the recording from yesterday, sir...
-Kurama, sorry.
-Oh, Mr. Kurama.

Before leaving, Yomi buys a cake;

-Shall we take this to eat with our friends, Kurama?-Yomi smiles.
-Of course! And how do you know this is my favorite if you can't see it?
-By it's smell!

Yomi pays the pie, to the owner's delight, it's one of the grocery's most expensive cake;

-Always come back!

They go down the street to the Yomi's building;

-Are you anxious, Yomi? I'm too!
-Of course, I cannot wait to identify who committed this terrorist act.
-I hope it's possible to do the identification. video quality  is very good, anyway, we'll need to send this to the criminal expertise.
-Yes, of course.

At the entrance to the building, Kibitoshin and Tsukiyomi were talking;

-What do you mean, Tsukiyomi? Oh really?
-Hahaha, it is! You do not know what my Hoshi is capable of!
-Good morning!- Kurama greets.
-Ah, good morning Kurama!- Kibitoshin greets him back.
-Hahaha how cute you are holding this cake, Yomi, hahaha! -Tsukiyomi makes fun.
-Are you fine? Today we are going to savor a cake together and solve a mystery.
-Was it something about the terrorist attack?- Kibitoshin asks.
-Exactly. But let's go to my office, okay?
-Right!

Yomi and Kurama go into his office, followed by Tsukiyomi and Kibitoshin;

-Hoshiyomi was in charge. Is there a problem, Tsukiyomi?
-It is not alright.
-How nice.

 Upon arriving there, Hoshiyomi is sitting at Yomi's desk, dealing with the bidding for rebuilding the destroyed flyover;

-Good morning Hoshiyomi, I see you're busy!- Kurama smiles.
- Hello, good morning, everyone. Yes, I already got a company to rebuilt the flyover that was demolished, and that's all right. Works start on Monday.
-Excellent, Hoshiyomi, as always showing able to succeed me. Well, now I invite you to go with us to Kurama's office, I have in hand the video files of an grocery store near the pillar that was demolished. The camera frames the pillar, and according to Kurama, the quality of the images is excellent.
-Yomi okay. -Hoshiyomi leaves Yomi's desk and kneels to him, as a sign of respect. -Welcome back.
-Thanks for everything, Hoshiyomi, you're great. Well, shall we go then?

Kurama arranges the projector, and takes a set of plates and cutlery so that everyone can eat the cake that Yomi left on your table;

-Well, let's begin. This video has sound, Yomi, if the terrorist says something, maybe you can analyze the sound pattern of his speech.
-Okay, Kurama, I'll be concentrating.
-Okay, let's do it then.

Kurama advances the video until a moment near the time of the attack;

-As you can see, the pillar is still intact here. Let's watch what happens next.

A man, looking about 30 years and wearing a cap, crosses the street and goes to the median strip where the pillar is;

-Hey, Kurama, look!
-Yes. Let's keep watching.

The suspect crouches under the pillar, making a movement as if burying something while talking on the phone. He quickly runs toward the camera, and his face is clearly visible to Yomi's luck;
-Hahaha, this is the most clumsy terrorist I've ever seen, Yomi, your face is so clearly visible that identification will be very easy for our criminal expertise.
-Not just the face, I can hear his voice.
-Oh really? Hahaha you is awesome, Yomi, we cannot hear anything!

Yomi smiles;

-I'm going to draw a spectral map of that voice to aid identification. The guy who talks on the phone I cannot tell because the sound of the device is very bad and is already at the limit of the sensitivity of the camera microphone.
-Right.

Then the bomb buried under the pillar explodes, and the camera of the grocery store is turned to the left due the explosion shock wave;

-Well, that's it. Yomi, I'm going to refer these recordings to our criminal expertise. And, oh, you're forgetting something ...
-I? What's?

Kurama takes a tiny piece of cake, and touches Yomi's lips with it;


-Hahaha, it was your choice!
-Yes it's true!

Everyone laughs at the situation, and they eat the cake casually;

-Oh, and about our tournament? When it will be?-Hoshiyomi asks.
-Okay, let's set this up next, but I want everyone here, including Shiori and Byakuya.
-Okay, Yomi, I'll call them and ask them to come here, okay?
